Okay NiNjA is out.

Selection 4
You are required to select a Test Cricketer who debuted in the last 50 years who didn't bowl a single delivery in Test Cricket. Your selection must average under 45 with the bat and take less then 1 catch per match (to avoid keepers mainly)

that 1 catch per match took out both Flemming and Strauss !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

think this will result in very ordinary players if some one find good player good luck to him :)

Question 4 really is a stinker. I had to pick someone who only played 1 test match, but had a good FC career.

Nufan: Are we selecting squads? Or just a direct XI players?

I don't want to do large squads or anything, but I've decided that we'll all have 12 selections and be judged on your best XI..

It basically allows everyone to stuff up once as I imagine especially at this early stage everyone is just picking whoever they think is best and not really looking at team balance.

Yes that sounds a good idea. I can imagine a number of members may be placing this round 4 selection as the "12th" man. Great question, limited range of decent players.

I think you can count me out too. I've realised that prowling throug old scoreboards looking for players who never bowled but didn't take many catches but didn't average that much with the bat isn't much how i'd like to spend my time. Sorry folks.

Shame really. I hope we keep the numbers up. This is, IMO, interesting.
